Complete the checklist using both:
- What you observe when entering the property and checking each room
- What the resident tells you when asked or voluntarily discloses
Do not move furniture, inspect building elements or diagnose technical problems.
Tick any item that applies even if you are not 100% sure.
Add brief comments if helpful, including locations of damp, mould or other concerns.
If one or more concerns are identified, consider referral to Warm & Safe Wiltshire or your local support service. Obtain the resident's consent before making a referral.
Follow safeguarding procedures if there is an immediate risk to the residents’ health or safety.
